DOCUMENTATION / Stripe

Stripe docs CLI

Pins Stripe's skill for reading docs through the Stripe CLI, including the login step it requires for gated pages.

“Use when the user or agent needs to read, search, or look up Stripe documentation or API reference. Prefer this over curl or WebFetch for any docs.stripe.com content. Use to fetch gated documentation.”

01 / THE REASONING

Why this made the selection.

  • The catalogue has Stripe billing and payments skills and not this documentation-lookup skill.
  • The file limits its shell tools to stripe docs, stripe login, and stripe version rather than a general shell.

02 / THE REVIEW RECORD

What we actually inspected.

Source review has boundaries.
A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge.

Material inspected

  • skills/stripe-docs/SKILL.md
  • README.md
  • LICENSE

Our findings

  • The skill says to use stripe docs rather than curl or WebFetch for docs.stripe.com content.
  • Its allowed-tools list is Bash(stripe docs *), Bash(stripe login), and Bash(stripe version).
  • It says gated documentation requires stripe login, and that a CLI older than v1.50.9 must be upgraded before those pages are available.

Not established by this review

  • The resource was not executed and its tools were not called.
  • The Stripe CLI was not run.
  • No docs page was fetched through stripe docs.
  • Not executed: it was not installed or run.

The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior.

03 / PUT IT TO WORK

Add a skill to your workflow.

Upstream setup instructions ↗

DOCUMENTED COMMAND

npx skills add https://docs.stripe.com

Run in your terminal to choose your AI tools, project or global scope, and installation method. This short command follows the current upstream version; the review covers the revision shown above.

  1. The README's manual install command is the line above and points at docs.stripe.com rather than a path in the git tree.
  2. The same README says a manual install does not auto-update and shows npx skills update -y.
  3. The reviewed definition remains skills/stripe-docs/SKILL.md at the pinned commit.

Before you start

  • A skills-compatible agent
  • The Stripe CLI if the skill's commands are followed
  • stripe login only if gated docs are needed
